Squint your eyes, and imagine Owen with a Giant Capital W?

bbart, it's a shoe horn you need  ;D

I just can't imagine a capital for a 2nd initial in this instance.

Father's name is there twice... the one in the right column is clearer.... Moen?

Edit:  He makes his e's like I do.... reverse 3's.

Every time I sign my name,  I write a capital E.   I too have had to explain to various younger people who know only how to print or to read written typed words that it is NOT a reverse of the number 3. 

But please, please, please do not even consider that the third character in the word commencing with M is actually a capital E.     I have attached two snips.  One from the OPs attachment and one from the internet, showing the capital and lower case E  I have used since learning to write in the 1950s.   I am in NSW Australia.  The style of writing I use has not been taught in NSW since the 1960s.   I am fortunate that I can read all the family private papers back to when the first migrant ancester arrived in NSW in the late 1790s.

The word before the first Gallagher looks like 'female' so I had convinced myself I was going to be seeing a birth or baptism but not used to seeing an occupation there?

IF and to me it is a huge IF, if that word commences with M  I guess (and it is a guess only) it may read Mona or Mora   

I would prefer the snip to include more of the document,  and I would prefer to have some context...  eg
a) is it from a church register perhaps,  if so, what type of event?
b) what country,  what decade of which century ...

The column headings could PERHAPS be the eqivalent to say :

GENDER   
FATHER (including abode)   
MOTHER (including former surname) 
OCCUPATION (of the father)
INFORMANT (including abode ADD and relationship to the person in column headed gender)

I think these two snips are for the one person, i.e. the father of the un-named female from the 'first' column
